My rom shouldnt bootloop you either, maybe just random reboots every now and then but thats because of the kernel. I now have the git source for it so I plan on fixing it myself (if possible) and hopefully bring more appeal to the device.
My base is not a problem. I am going to release the entire barebones deodexed rom, but without any changes except for removing bloatware. That way others can do what they like. I only ask that I am credited for the deodex/debloat as I did the work. Its not about not letting others use my rom, its about making sure credit is given where its due. Yes anybody can do it, but I want to be able to provide it to make it a bit easier for anyone maybe starting out.
As for the kernel differences, yeah it will work better because its stock. I'm not a "stock" guy and the kernel, while slightly unstable, is faster and performs much better than stock. Thats the whole point of overclocking. How fast can it go, where is the limit, how far can we push it while making it usable. The old version of the kernel that bootloops for others runs like a crackhead on my phone, but rarely works for others. I even have the proof on my YT channel. Its gotta be done right and the guys have gotten off to a good start. We can only get better
